Mount Hebron: Security forces demolish illegally built mosque

Civil Administration security forces demolished a structure in the southern part of Mount Hebron. The structure, which functioned as a mosque, was taken down after the Regavim organization petitioned the High Court claiming the structure was illegally constructed. The Court accepted the claim, and ordered its demolition.

Palestinian sources told the Palestinian news agency Maan that a number of Koran books were destroyed during the demolition when security forces refused to allow residents to clear the structure of its contents. (Itamar Fleishman and Yonatan Gonen)
